Hi,

Seems like mozilla does something strange to fonts. If I'm viewing a whole page of text, various lines w/text are smaller and unreadable. If I mark the text with my mouse it seems to pop to normal size...

What's this?

I've had the same problem for months. Nobody seems to have any idea how to fix it :(

Have you tried:
Preferences->Appearance->Fonts->Display resolution to 96 dpi.

This has fixed the problem for others.

I don't know exactly what you mean by this. There's ton of different font rendering engines in Linux, so you'll have to tell us more about your system to get this working. Another thing that people commonly say makes fonts prettier in Mozilla is to set Freetype fonts to false in the file /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref/unix.js.
